Craig,

It has bloomed three times and I have not been able to get it to judging. The next judging in Massachussetts is April 7th. I am not sure if it will stay in great shape till then. Hopefully!

thanks

We do have quite a few blue skies! But only in northern NH. Southern NH is not quite as nice!

oke: I thought you hated maudiae types

Good job Peter!, Heather got attracted to a maudiae

 

[Roy]

Question, why would "Maudiae Type" be refered here. The Macarbe couldn't be further from a Maudiae type if it tried???????????
Roy.

 

[smartie2000]

....fine mottled leaved types

 

[Heather]

Isn't there some common parentage of maudiae way back in the breeding of this? I thought that was responsible for the very dark macabres that have been bloomed over the years. Lawrencianum or something? I started looking it up this morning but couldn't find the grex for one of the parents of Voodoo Magic.

 

[smartie2000]

...I started looking too but then got bored... I can't find Vintner's Treasure in the registry

 

[smartie2000]

ok I finally got Vintner's Treasure, the search on the registry doesn't work that well...
there isn't maudiae (callosum x lawrenceanum) in it, but it has a fair amount of callosum. Anyways this plant would have been grouped together as a maudiae section in any catalogue.
What class would this plant fit in for judging?
